Lyrics of Answers (From "Final Fantasy XIV") by Nobuo Uematsu
verse
I close my eyes
Tell us why must we suffer
Release your hands
For your will drags us under
My legs grow tired
Tell us where must we wander
How can we carry on
If redemption's beyond us?
verse
To all of my children
In whom life flows abundant
To all of my children
To whom death hath passed his judgement
The soul yearns for honor
And the flesh, the hereafter
Look to those who walked before
To lead those who walk after
verse
Shining is the land's light of justice
Ever flows the land's well of purpose
Walk free, walk free, walk free, believe
The land's alive, so believe

verse
Now open your eyes
While our plight is repeated
Still deaf to our cries
Lost in hope we lie defeated
Our souls have been torn
And our bodies forsaken
Bearing sins of the past
For our future is taken
verse
War born of strife
These trials persuade us not
(Feel what? Learn what?)
Words without sound
These lies betray our thoughts
Mired by a plague of doubt, the land, she mourns
(See what? Hear what?)
Judgement binds (judgement binds)
All we hold to a memory of scorn
verse
Tell us why (tell us why)
Given life
We are meant to die
Helpless in our cries?

outro
Thy life is a riddle
To bear rapture and sorrow
To listen, to suffer
To entrust unto tomorrow
In one fleeting moment
From the land doth life flow
Yet in one fleeting moment
For anew it doth grow
In the same fleeting moment
Thou must live, die, and know
Writer(s): Dan Wilson, Eric Frederic, Josh Carter, Sarah Barthel
